Various ISDN Packs Created For BT's HomeHighway

UK Internet users are most likely aware of the recent launch of BT's 'HomeHighway', which is a lower cost ISDN service for the home user. For further information point your browser to http://www.homehighway.bt.com/.

Amiga users can take advantage of ISDN, despite the fact that BT claim you 'need a PC to use HomeHighway'. Active Technologies have created various ISDN packages that will connect your Amiga quickly and cheaply:

ID01 External ISDN Terminal Adapter		�129.95
ID02 ISDN TA & NetConnect v2			�159.95
ID03 ISDN TA & NetConnect v2 & Hypercom 1	�189.95
ID04 ISDN TA & NetConnect v2 & IOBlix		�229.95

The external ISDN TA is the Dynalink 'MagicXpress'. Further information can be obtained from http://www.askey.com.tw/. NetConnect v2 is available on CD or floppy disk. Information about the Hypercom or IOBlix serial cards can be obtained from http://www.active-net.co.uk/.

What advantages does ISDN offer over normal PSTN analogue lines?

• Higher bandwidth - download at true 64K or 128K (by using both ISDN lines), without connection variations (ie. 56K modems often connect at 44K or even resync down to slower speeds after the initial connection). ISDN is constant. No fluctuations in the connection quality.
• Upload at 64K or 128K - the difference between a 33.6/56K modem is that you can only upload at 33.6K. With ISDN you can upload at 64K or 128K (using both channels).
• Instant connection - with ISDN, connection to the Internet is under one second, whereas with normal analogue modems, this can be anything around 20-30 seconds.
